On Tuesday, March 28th, Charlie Liu dropped into ZenQuest for a mini-clinic. Charlie is a seasoned Black Belt under the infamous Matt Serra, and likes to share his knowledge at ZenQuest when in the area. As always, a nice group showed up (on short notice) to take advantage of the opportunity. This time Professor Charlie focused on some foot-lock strategies made famous by the notorious John Danaher and his “Death Squad” competition team. As we’ve seen over recent years, a natural evolution continues to refine the “old school” versions of many strategies in Jiu-jitsu. The techniques that Charlie showed definitely fell into that category, resulting in foot-locks that were tighter and very difficult to defend. At the end of the clinic the group played “King of the Hill” where they took turns with one student passing the guard, and their partner trying to sweep or submit. Huge thanks to Professor Liu for sharing his knowledge, and to his wife Jessica for providing support. Thanks, too, to everyone who participated!
